I’ve been looking forward to springing forward for what feels like a very long time.

[James Hamblin @jameshamblin]

For the past year my main concern has been this winter. Now we’re one week away from it being over. As endpoints go, that’s something to celebrate.

It’s an honor to join @JoeBiden administration as White House COVID-19 Vaccinations Coordinator during this pivotal moment in the pandemic. I’m humbled to be part of the team working to ensure an efficient, equitable, and effective roll out. https://t.co/miiiST8HCj

History made.

Helen Cordova, a nurse in an intensive care unit in LA, became one of the first Californians to get vaccinated today.

[Bechara Choucair @choucair]

With cases surging in California and across the U.S., taking precautions to protect the health of ourselves and loved ones has never been more critical. We can slow the spread of #COVID19, but only if we do it together.

Retweet if you’re ready to end this and vote for Joe Biden.

We have the chance to prevent another spike in #COVID19 cases – but we must act quickly. @bhangrajay & I lay out five things that the nation must do to take advantage of this tipping point and propel the U.S. out of this pandemic, via @ABC.

COVID update: I know everyone feels like we’re in neutral, or worse, reverse.

I’ve been in conversations w cities & states & schools. It’s clear we need to adopt a new mentality & change some assumptions to unstick. 1/

[scottweier @scottweier]

These are such alarming disparities.

[Andy Slavitt @ASlavitt]

We all likely know by now that Black Americans are 2x likely to die of COVID-19 as white people.

But if you’re between 35-44, Black Americans are *9x* more likely to die of COVID-19 as white people. 15/

[James Hamblin @jameshamblin]

This is an extremely consequential admission.
